[The Wall Street bombing plus other immigrant criminal [anarchists of the early 1920’s was the trigger for the 1924 Immigration Act.]

Indeed. We need a mass deportations of all illegals, and an immediate end to border entries by people without valid visas - the pre-Biden policy. Instead, Biden is swamping Border Patrol in paperwork by making them process millions of illegal border crossers. The only silver lining is that his policy is leading some who would previously have voted Biden to either stay home or vote Trump. In April 2020, Biden was comfortably ahead of Trump. It’s April 2024. They’re even. Emerson 4/2020 had Biden up by 6. Emerson 4/2024 has Trump up by 3.

Note that Emerson nailed Biden’s 2020 margin of victory, pegging it at 5% in its final pre-election poll. Biden won by 4.5%.

At this point in 1980 Carter was still well ahead of Reagan.

But the killer was that ~80 percent of people felt that the USA was on the wrong track, and they eventually decided Carter was hopeless and couldn’t fix it. All Carter had was doubts about Reagan.

In Trump’s case, people know that he can do the job, and do it better than what has been since 2001.

The wrong track number is more like 70 percent already.
